Life in Housing at Briscoe?

Colleges and Universities A-Z Indiana University - Bloomington

Hi guys –

I just sent in my housing app for Indiana today. I realize housing opened up in February, but was rejected by almost all of my reach and match schools, so I’ve waited until now. I did some research and am aware of how essentially every freshman requests to live in the Northwest neighborhood.

I missed Kelley DA by 10 points on my SAT (1380) but will be studying business at IU. I want to live in Briscoe and am willing to pay for enhanced and also requested to be in a single so I could have my own space. I’m extroverted, but heard McNutt is impossible to study in and can get kind of gross.

If anyone could share what life is like in Briscoe as a freshman, or knows how life is like in a single/making friends wise and being social there? Also, how likely is it that I get into live at Briscoe? I’m hoping it is still fairly social, but that I will also be able to get work done when I close my door.

Any help GREATLY APPRECIATED!

Hi. My daughter lived in Briscoe her freshman year. It’s a great dorm, very social but also very respectful in terms of people atudyjng, etc. Unfortunately your odds of getting Briscoe are slim to none. She applied within the first 15 minutes after the application opening and had friends who applied within an hour and didn’t get in. Also singles fill up really quickly :frowning:

Remember you must Disco if you’re in Briscoe.

Seems like one of the few dorms that have modernized itself with the suite living. When I was there, it was shall we say “bland.” Socially it wasn’t a problem. Kind of middle of the road.
